Peter V. Brett:
Your fight seems seem very thought out and practical as if you more have knowledge of how the human body works. Clearly you think and plan them out. Do you do martial arts, or do you otherwise have a plan that helps you?
Peter V. Brett
I am more "martial arts enthusiast" than "martial arts practitioner". I do make an effort to plot out fights in a realistic way, sometimes using the articulated action figures on my desk to help choreograph. They are totally there for work, not because I love Spider-Man and Power Girl!

Peter V. Brett:
(continued from prior ?) The women are one-dimensional and un-relatable. They exist mostly to get rescued or raped. They’re certainly not people I’d want to be or be friends with. I would love to read female characters who have character growth, have agency, are relatable, and do smart things. With great power comes great responsibility, Peter! Please don't perpetuate negative tropes. Work toward a less sexist world!
